TIPS TO MANAGE A NARCISSIST DURING LOCKDOWN!

Introduction

Quarantined during lockdown with a narcissist is like being locked up with a dangerous predator – you never know when they are going to strike. We are specialists in handling cases that involve a narcissist partner.

Tips to manage a narcissist

  1. Distance yourself emotionally as they like to feed off your energy and suck the life force from you.
  2. Limit communication and keep it simple.
  3. Don’t react to them blaming you for everything wrong, even during lockdown, rather walk away and don’t get roped into an argument. They thrive on arguments.
  4. Find ways to feed their ego – remember it is big and this will buy you time until lockdown is over to approach a lawyer.
  5. Document the abuse so you can show it to your lawyer when you proceed with a domestic violence application or divorce.
